the womens 4 by 100 meter medley relay swimming team finished in second place. In the relay, each member swims 100 meters using a different swimming stroke. The names and ages of the team members are jenny,19, asia,22, and destiny,39.

The age difference between the oldest and youngest swimmer on this team is 20 years. Suppose they had broken up the distance of 400 meters by age. how far would each person swim in the relay?

Each swimmer is supposed to swim 100m in one stroke. Given "4 by 100," is one swimmer going to swim two laps? Where is the fourth swimmer?

What method are you using to break "up the distance of 400 meters by age"? The youngest gets to swim 200 meters? Each person swims 133.3 meters? From your data, I find this very confusing.

To determine how far each person would swim in the 4 by 100 meter medley relay, we need to consider the age difference between the oldest and youngest swimmer on the team, which is 20 years.

Given that the relay consists of four swimmers, we can divide the age difference by four to distribute the distance based on age. Here's how you can calculate it:

1. Determine the age difference between the oldest and youngest swimmer: 39 (oldest swimmer's age) - 19 (youngest swimmer's age) = 20.

2. Divide the age difference by four to distribute the distance: 20 years / 4 = 5 years.

Now, let's distribute the distance based on age:

- Jenny, the youngest swimmer at 19 years old, will swim the closest distance to the starting point. She will swim 100 meters.

- Asia, who is 22 years old, will swim the next closest distance, slightly ahead of Jenny. She will also swim 100 meters.

- Destiny, the oldest swimmer at 39 years old, will swim the farthest distance from the starting point. She will swim 100 meters.

- Since there is still one more swimmer, this person (not mentioned in the information given) will also swim 100 meters to complete the total distance of 400 meters.

Therefore, each person in the women's 4 by 100 meter medley relay swimming team would swim 100 meters.
